The Biltmore Bar and Grill on Swinegate hosts scenes set on a night out – and features many extras brought straight into the movie from the streets of York.

And the grandeur of the Assembly Rooms and the Aviva office also feature.

Cinematographer Will Humphris said: “York was a wonderful place to film because everyone was very supportive – the buidlings we were in, the locations we were in, the houses that we were in – all worked very well.”

“Amazingly they had managed to get York – as a city, as a council – on board with this project.

“So they managed to get some incredible locations, like the school, the office buildings.

“We managed to shoot in the boardroom of Aviva Insurance which was amazing – with a view out onto York Minster.”

Other scenes were shot in Leeds and Bradford. Sid said:

Filming in these beautiful Yorkshire cities was truly incredible.

We wanted to tell a positive story about an area too often dismissed as grim or depressing.

With Yorkshire being named as the fastest growing region for TV and film, it’s great that our story can be brought to life with the help of the Yorkshire landscape
